Welcome to Expiation and come on down! We're thrilled to have you here! This intro entry serves additionally as a CR meme, so you are free to use it to say hello, tell us a bit about yourself, talk about your character, and potential plans for the game.
The SOTG for November is HERE, with changes and where the game is going for the month. Feel free to browse around if you haven't already, and check out the MAIN NAVIGATION for more detailed info about the game itself.
NOVEMBER EVENT SUMMARY
SOMEHOW SCIENTISTS FUCK THINGS UP AGAIN
Be careful on whom you experiment, as they say. (No one says that.) Thanks to some interesting choices made by Bondrewd regarding Ryoji Mochizuki, Aldrip becomes a chaotic world-changing state. On November 11, the town of Aldrip is plunged into the Dark Hour. This is to be paired with a PLAYER PLOT run by Novas, Jin, and Jade (Kotone). Participation in the player plot is not required to experience effects of this event! They’ll be posted as two separate logs, but the player plot will take place at the same time as the event effects.
What event effects?
Aldrip is cast into a week of night-darkness, though the moon (was it always this large?) casts an eerie silvery-green glow over the city. Electronics will not work, save for player-created electronics (such as STEM’s dark web devices). There will be an increased monster presence across the city. In spite of this, NPCs seem to go about their normal day, as if nothing’s actually happening…even though some of them are being eaten by monsters? Huh. That’s weird.
In addition, characters may find doppelgangers of themselves around town. These doubles reveal a dark reflection of the characters they look like: their deepest fears and regrets, repressed desires they refuse to admit, feelings and experiences they’ve never told anyone about…all of these things come to the surface with these doubles. These doubles desperately wish to see a character’s accused crime confronted, and they will do anything to make that happen, even resorting to violence if they must. The doubles have all the original powers and abilities of their real counterparts, making them extremely difficult to fight one-on-one. Confronting the double and accepting or seriously reflecting upon the crime they’re charged with will make the doppelgangers first turn docile, and then disappear, leaving the original character feeling lighter and more sure of themselves.
Here’s where we see how Aldrip and Expiation can often change things, because the Dark Hour won’t work exactly as it does in its original canon. Rather than one hour per day, this will occur at first over the course of one week. Anyone who chooses to experience the Dark Hour can take part–if you don’t want to, you’re welcome to make use of Persona 3’s iconic coffin structures for a week-long nap, but there will be plenty of safehouses as well, if you’d rather have your character hang out in safety for a while. Safehouses will include the Inn and some other player businesses, such as the clinic: they, along with maybe a few other locations, will be completely unaffected by the Dark Hour The event comes to an end on November 18 when the player plot “bosses” are defeated. As for any lasting effects of the Dark Hour? That remains to be seen, but we’re sure it will be fine, in the end. Everything will be fine. 🙂
